Brownie — Panera Bread

Is the Brownie a good deal?

At a typical $3.99, the Brownie at Panera Bread gives you 520 calories and 7g of protein — 1.8g of protein and 130 calories for every dollar you spend. That earns it a value score of 46/100, which ranks it #690 of the 1023 comparable items we've priced across every chain (the typical comparable item returns about 2.8g of protein per dollar).

On the numbers it's an unremarkable value pick in its category. Worth noting, though — it carries a lot of sugar (50g). If you want more for your money elsewhere on our value rankings, 3 Tacos al Carbon Combo at El Pollo Loco scores higher (89/100 value, $6.99).
